Legend RF   right foot       North   face front from starting position LF   left foot       East   face right from starting position RH   right hand       South   face back from starting position LH   left hand       West   face left from starting position Suparunpai is the Kancho Kata. The organizational leader performs this kata as the supreme kata. The literal translation of Suparunpai is 108. In Chinese/Japanese philosophy, 108 is the maximum number of evil spirits. On the last day of the year (or the day before the start of a new year) temples strike the gongs 108 times to dispel all of the evil spirits. Thus, 108 can be roughly translated as the "LAST" kata. In performing Suparunpai there can be many different rhythms and speeds. Use your own imagination. Rhythm, speed, and inhale/exhale breathing descriptions are described in this document to help consistency within the GKK Ambler Dojo. They are teaching guidelines, not rigid rules. Suparunpai also contains several sequences that repeat multiple times. The sequences are numbered to facilitate learning. 0.           Ready posture facing North.?
